Intermediate programme
Designing metallurgical testwork that answers the question, and reading results without over reading them.
Testwork programmes consume budget and schedule and often answer a question nobody asked, usually because sampling was wrong at the start. This week covers programme design from sample selection to interpretation: choosing samples that represent the orebody rather than what was easy to drill, the comminution and recovery tests available, variability work, and the statistics needed to say what a result actually supports. Scale up and its failure modes close the week.
It runs 7 times over the published calendar, in 6 cities and live online. Every date is the same programme with the same content and the same certificate.
Metallurgists and process engineers, study and project managers commissioning testwork, geologists supplying samples, and laboratory supervisors.
This is an intermediate level programme. It assumes you are working in or moving into the area it covers, and it is built around your own material rather than a case study. If you are unsure, ask an advisor before registering rather than after.
Ask an advisorShort input, then work. Across 5 days of roughly 6 teaching hours each, the balance sits deliberately with the second: a programme where the trainer talks for six hours produces notes rather than capability.
Exercises run on situations delegates bring, not on a case study written for a different organisation in a different decade.
Small enough that everybody is asked something. Executive programmes are capped tighter still.
The difficult conversation, the challenged assumption, the decision defended out loud. Judgement is not built by watching.
Each day ends with a thing you can use on Monday rather than a slide deck you will not reopen.
A GATI certificate recording what you attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended.
Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record, which is what makes it worth holding. It records participation. This site will not imply one it does not have.
Register on a published date, or tell an advisor what you need and they will come back with something specific rather than a brochure.
Mining Engineering
The surface chemistry behind froth flotation, and what it means for reagents, water and recovery.
Mining Engineering
Reading structure in the field and in the model, because structure controls where ore sits and where ground fails.
Mining Engineering
Why trained people take shortcuts underground, and what actually changes it.
Mining Engineering
Drill and blast from first principles: energy, fragmentation, and getting the result you designed.
Mining Engineering
The roles, routes and qualifications in mining, for people choosing or redirecting a career in it.
Mining Engineering
The social licence in practice: agreements, grievances and benefits that communities regard as real.
Mining Engineering
The physical impacts of mining, how they are measured, and the controls that genuinely reduce them.
Mining Engineering
Finding mining's hazards before they find you, and managing the ones that can kill.
